The Boy is Oz – Kobi Oz

A few years ago Kobi Oz, a well known Israeli musician and lead singer in the band Tipex, made a splash in international circles with a Eurovision entry which created some controversy among the peace loving nations of Europe. “Push the Button” may not have won Eurovision but it certainly attracted some attention at the time.

Since then, Kobi Oz, has been performing for more and more diaspora audiences and bringing his personal narrative and experiences to thousands of people who may have previously been unexposed to this truly unique individual.

This latest collaboration with MAKOM is an exciting and dynamic approach to bringing contemporary Israeli culture to Jews all around the world.

I Like You So Much It Hurts

With Tu B’Av (the Festival of Love) just around the corner (July 26th) I wanted to share the following with you. Someone very close to me tells me during occasional tender moments, “I like you so much, it hurts.” I never quite understood the phrase, but maybe now I do – at least just a bit better than before. But before reading on, and despite what I am about to share with you, rest assured that my personal life is actually doing quite well – thanks for caring!

I guess liking someone so much that it hurts could happen for many reasons – but in this case, the object of my affection is just making it so difficult for me – that it actually hurts.
